(6,002 posts)I think what needs to be done is to start a list of all things and people who are part of this propaganda war to warp our minds and manipulate our thinking on Vladimir Putin and win him an adoring following.
So far, from your criticism, the list is as follows:
Russia Today (RT) and of course that would include Thom Hartmann
The Real News Network (TRNN) and of course that would include Chris Hedges, Michael Hudson, thats a big list, Im sure theres more, since they are an offshoot of Fox News which should also be added, because many an intelligent person is being fooled by the eloquently speaking anchors.
We've got to stop listening to Richard Wolff too, I can think of at least six universities who should be notified immediately of his nature so as not to allow him to warp young minds in his classes, as well, along with adding his books to the bonfire. Pacifica Radio & the New York Times must be alerted, or they too should be added to our list to avoid.
We should ban certain books & perhaps resort to burning them & purging them from the internet & Amazon for starters, the big two of course, Shock Doctrine & Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.
Help me out if Ive missed something.
Maybe its just me, but Ive always thought many of my fellow Duers are intelligent enough to sift through a vast amount of information, discarding the useful fools along the way. I guess Putie hasnt learned that yet, being how he is no believer in democracy & how our own MSM is quite objective and fearless when it comes to reporting all of the truth & nothing but the truth.
Im going to need to compile a list of the safe sites, the channels we should be watching & all those economists who are NOT paid schills for Putin. Who are they by the way, uhnope?
I hope we have all seen the errors of our ways this morning. I know I have. I have learned much about useful fools.
TY, uhnope, I have recalled a historical era and the term, "McCarthyism" and see it is alive and well and pertains not only to our collective experience at DU, but our country, our global world. I commend you for doing that in your time here. Well done.
